Best way to backup a specific drive?


I am preparing to backup my root drive in preparation
for installing f7. What is the best way to do this?

I have in /dev/hda as:

/boot = /dev/hda1
/ = /dev/hda2

I have backed up /boot with: tar zcvpf /boot.tgz /boot

But have get to figure out how to get /dev/hda2 backed up without
picking up the other drives mounted on /

Of course, I am saving the backups on a different drive so that I can
use specific files I want to restore or refer to when rebuilding the new
f7 installation.

Thanks!
Dan
